Live From “Stand Up! Speak Out!” Part II: And The Rest…
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
As promised here is the remainder of my footage from last night’s event.
PART IX: Carlos Menchaca of Councilwoman Quinn’s office, a respresentative of Councilwoman Reyna’s office and Marianne of the Brooklyn Community Pride Center speaks
- Brooklyn, at long last, will be getting its very own Pride Center!
PART X: The Pastor of the Church of the Messiah and Rebecca White, a Representative of the Green Party, speaks
- Miss White brings up Right Rides. Those of you who do not know what this is should click here and find out!
PART XI: Community Board 1 member Tom Burrows outlines public forums where people can speak up, a citizen speaks
- Mr. Burrows offers yours truly the mike. I decline (Hey, I’m filming this!)— but suggest he outline what people should do if/when they lodge a complaint via 311
- 311 is for non-emergencies only
- It is noted by one very observant attendee that someone who assaults someone at 5:00 a.m. in the morning is probably not attending church. Thus sermons preaching tolerance will probably not be effective.
PART XII: A representative of Support New York speaks
It was at this point, gentle readers, I headed home. But not before making a recommendation to Mr. Burrows and Lincoln Restler: that a community group/list-serve be created (Yahoo? Facebook? Google+?) where businesses, citizens and our electeds can have a frank and open forum to discuss issues pertaining to the LBGTQ community and get to know each other— on their schedule. Thoughts, anyone?

I am pleased to announce there was a full house at last night’s forum against anti-GBLTQ violence! Not only were a number of our elected officials and representatives from the Police Department present, but a great many concerned citizens from as far-flung locales as Park Slope! Some of these individuals had very powerful tales to tell, as you will see. In any case 9and without further ado) follows is the footage I shot. NOTE: I will be adding more later today so check back!
